Popular Science,

The following preparation applied to the
surface will prevent any rustlng on plows
or any other metal surfaces: Melt Que ounce
of rosn in gill of linseed-oil, and when hot
mix with two quarts of kerosene oil This
can be kept on hand and applied in mo-
ment with brush or rag to the metal sur
face Of any tool that is not going to be used
for few days, preventing any rust and
saving much vexation when the time comes
to use it again.

Swine are subject to several kinds of in
testinal worms which may require different
treatment. Worms are much more frequent
in swine than is generally supposed The
most effective remedy is santonin; it may
be given in doses OF ne-third Of q teaspoon
full morning and evening, two or three days
in succession, to be followed with an active
purgative. Another remedy which may bo
tried is wood ashes, with soap-suds mixed
with them; feed once a week.
Egg-shels crushed into small bits, and
shaken well in decarters, three parts filed
with cold water, will not only clean them
thoroughly, but make the glass look like
new. BY rubbing with flannel dipped in
the best whiting, the brown discoloration
may be taken Off cups in which clistards
have been baked. Again, all Of US are
aware that emery powder will remove ordi-
nary stains from the white ivory knife
handles, and that the luster Of morocco
leather Is restored by vanishing with white
Of egg. Nothing, it Is said, is better to clean
silver with than alcohol or ammonia, finish
ing with little whiting on a soft cloth
When putting away the silver tea on coffee
pot which is not IN use every day, lay a
stick across the top under the cover. This
will allow fresh air TO get In, and prevent tho
mustiness OF the contents familiar TO board
ing-house sufferers.
II has been laid down by NJ. Cheveul that
the human eye cannot he long employed in
the perception of given color without
tending to become insensible and TO arouse
an impression similar to that ordinarily pro-
duced by the perception of white light. DR..
Beclard has also noticed that when the eye
is directed for time upon O colored field,
the other eye being closed, il the eye which
was open be in turn closed and the other
opened a spectre Of the complimentary
color viii bo perceived thus, II tho right
eye has observed a red disk, the left being
slut, a reversal Of this state OF things would
result in the perception OF green disk by
the freshly opened left eye. In virtue Of
the same property Of the eve, when two
tints are placed beside each ether the near
est edge Of the ono will appear as though
deprived of all the colored rays which IL
may have In common with the other. An
analogous effect is produced with grays non
colored, that Is TO say formed simply Of
white aAS black.

Pretty Fair Hav.


Dir. Henry Gulick of Summit Fla, is a
hrn believer in tea-vine hay. In q COM
muncation to the Florida Dispatch he saws:
My experience in making cow-pea hay last
year may benefit some.
On May 20, 1885, we started two plows on
a six-acre field of rye stubble and dropped
SIX or eight peas at every step in every
fourth furrow, soil good quality of high
pine, bordering on what we call pine hum
mock, finished blowing May 81, on May
~ narrowed with a two-horse Acme to
level the ground They were plowed once
on June Is, about half with tun-plow and
balance with sweep. Could see no difference
IN the growth, but the latter left the ground
very level
No fertilizer was used. The Weld of
vines was quite large, but peas only mo-
derate, but yield of the latter on the poor
est ground.
On Aug H. the weather being fine, and
the peas ON one side of the field being nearly
ripe but retaining their leaves, we moved
enough with a common grass scythe to make
ton or more Of dry hay. AS fast as the
leaves became well wilted and before they
were crisp, they were thrown in piles with
hay forks, each pile large enough to make
a good feed for two horses. These piles
were never spread out again but turned
over on the hot ground three times day,
! and at night three or four piles were put to-
gether to protect from tho heavy dew, and
in the morning when the dew was off they
were separated and turned as before. We
hauled on Aug 49, after drying nearly
three days, and still apparently not quite
dry enough. A few handfuls of salt were
scattered over each layer in the NOW.
On Sept. 10, we cut about as much more
and treated the same as the first lot. except
it was left to cure until the afternoon of
that day, and in addition each pile was
bound with light band of damp rye straw,
which proved of good service in hauling the
hay
We have been in Florida five years, ex-
cept an annual short sojourn North, have
kept two horses and bought northern hay
the first two years, afterwards crab-grass
hay, which is very good, but nothing to
compare to pea hay. 1t came out of the
NOW with leaves as green as when it was
put in, and one quart of corn at a feed was
ample when the pea-vine was used.

Selecting the Cow.

A model useful dairy COW, says the Ameri-
can Agriculurist. may be known at q
glance by an expert. She has fine, long
head broad between the eyes, and
large, a thin, wide muzzle; the eyes are
and of mild expression; the neck is thin
and long: the ears are thin and covered
within with deep yellow skin; the fore
quarters are light and thin. and the whole
body has much the shape Of a wedge. in
creasing in size to the rear; the legs are thin
with fine bone; the belly is large and deep,
with great capacity for food; the back ia
broad and straight, and the ribs are well
rounded towards the rear; the bones Of the
rrmp are wide apart; the tail is long and
thin; the thighs are thin and are set widely
apart; the udder is large and full, especially
behind; the teats are of good size, and set
far apart upon a broad, level udder, and the
milk-vein, so-called, which is the large vein
leading from the uddor and passing into the
abdomen, and which is an indication of The
amount of blood circulating through the
milk glands, and contributing to the milk
secretion, should be fully and tortuous in
its short course. A fine horn, a deep, yellow
skin, and general elegance of form, with
out any heaviness or beefiness in any part,
are also important indications Of good
quality in COW for the dairy.

Farm Notes,

One thing which favors the cultivation
OF poultry is the division OF labor. Few in
dustrieS TO day in the United States show a
healthier growth or yield so vast return
to the American people in proportion to the
amount of capital required and employed in
carrying it on.
Very fine chicks were produced from eros
sing the Gray DOrklng and Wyandotte this
season, III raising broiers, the chicks being
very compact, and attaining weight of 2
pounds when ten weeks old, with high feed
ing. 1t is an excellent cross. and gives
satisfaction to all who may experiment
with it.
Very fat hens cannot stand the heat of
summer unless provided with shade. The
normal temperature Of birds is much higher
than of animals, and on very warm days
they suffer considerably Fat hens will
suddenly die from apoplexy, even when APP
parently well, which may be prevented if
cool water and shade are provided.
If ordinary cheap paper, such as is used
for lining houses, be used on the walls of
poultry-houses, inside, and a few laths then
nailed on, so as to allow of another covering
of paper, leaving an air space between the
two Innings of paper, it will make an ex-
cellent protection, both summer and winter,
as well as assisting somewhat against lice.
A night pasture Is the thing for the cows.
Have one handy and keep it for years. The
cows will make it rich, and seed scattered
over it early in the spring will renew the
sward. The seed might be covered with a
harrow and this would be good for the grass.
A good scratching of the surface would
spread the manure and start up things
afresh New idea, but good one.
Mr. j. C.. Foster, living little over a
mile from Sanford Fla, exhibits specimens
of peaches raised by him, the largest of
which measured nine inches by eight and
three fourthS in circumference. They grew
on Seeding trees, the product of pits brought
from Tennessee. This demonstrates that
though Florida may not have peach
trees bear every year, yet occasional "hits"
compensate well for the space they occupy,
A few days ago, says tho Augusta GA
Chronicle the writer had the pleasure of
inspecting the dairy of Maj B. W. Hunt,
near Eatonton. Tho appointments of the
dairy ere perfect. Maj. Hunt has a large
herd of Jerseys and ships about 80 pounds
of butter week; it nets him 35c per pound.
He is now seeking market for buttermilk,
which he proposes to ship daily in self-seal-
ing quart jars Later he expects to begin
the manufacture of koumiss, for which,
doubtless, he will find ready sale. The dairy
business is assuming large proportions in
Georgia and the South. There is money in
it, but it demands that close, personal at
tention which banking receives at the hands
of tho bank, or merchandising at the hands
of the merchant He who proposes to give
it this attention can succeed.

The Navel Orange.

Mr. s. Dyer, in the Citra fla Era, writes
as follows: Three years ago purchased a
GROVE which contains between sixty and
seventy navel orange trees, and was advised
Inv several old orange growers TO bud them
with other varieties, as they were too shy
bearers to be profitable.
The trees were among the most thrifty III
tbo grove. determined to test their value
Inv a few years trial, a conclusion that ex-
perience has proved to have been a wise one.
During the three years of my OWNERSHIP
those trees have boon among the most
prolific in my grove, and now are loaded
with fruit of splendid size and appearance.
A visit to my grove will convince any one
that I have no trees moro valuable.
As TO the cause Of this success, the secret
lies in the fact that my navels are inter
sner,ed with six acres of other varieties.
The navel orange is deficient in pollen, and
II planted by themselves fail TO set their
fyuit. but II intermixed with other trees
will prove to be rs prolific as can be desired.
II NAV be that there is some choice in the
varieties TO be relied on as fertilizer, hence
I will state that my trees are principally
mixed with Nonpareil, Magnlm Bonum
and Stark's Favorite. ] invite visit from
the doubters Of the prohtablensss of the
navel orange.

Pecan Trees.

Anther Brown of Beachwater Florida in
anarticle in the Florida Dispatch says that
he has had no experience with the English
walnut, but sees no reason why it would
not do well in Florida. Pecan trees come
INTO bearing from six to tex years, and at
twenty years should yield from $50 pounds
70 @OO pounds per tree, presuming all things
are favorable. In place Of deteriorating in
bearing, the older they get up to fifty years
There will be marked improvement in yield
yearly, and consequently steady advance
ment in the income. The tree is not affect
ea by any climatic change of heat or frost,
out upward and onward continue to grow
increasing yearly in beauty; and finally,
with outspreading branches, is tree of
ueauty and money promise TO the owner.
Inc borer is the only enemy to fight and is
easily detected and killed. Destroy all cat
erplllar nests, and chances for these borerS
are thereby diminished. A gummy sub
stance sticking to the tree denotes their
presence. Scrape away this substance where
d mole will appear; in this hole insert wire
ana thus crush the worm. Sometimes they
may be found under the ground three or
4ouF inches and close to the trunk, but are
generally found in the trunk or limbs. The
narin Is in girdling a limb as completely as
uohe with an AK, when the limb dies.
fecan trees need no particular attention or
ierIlIzlng, and will bear bad treatment and
stoS' neglect better than any tree | know of.
